ober Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 I have contacted the owners of the server and they are looking into it. It seems we're getting too big for our britches. ;)EDIT: As a side note, please do NOT use all caps for thread titles. It is against the rules and this is your last warning.

ober Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Please note, we've made some server settings changes and things should work a little more smoothly now. Unforunately with the popularity of the site, we get TONS of bots and leaches "borrowing" content from the site, which eats up the available connections. That's why you were seeing what you were.

Daniel0 Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 You could make an anti-leech system. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/23651-attention-admins/#findComment-107483 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ober Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 But in some respects, we want the leeches. It helps our popularity and gets our content out there. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/23651-attention-admins/#findComment-107490 Share on other sites More sharing options...
